UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi

Just to say hello - my name is Matt and I live in Brighton.

I just bought a 1.2 polo 2003 last week and so far am very pleased with it.

Fixed a few niggles it came with such as no fag lighter/ rear window demist fuse, replaced a misty headlight unit - handbrake adjustment and just gave it a full service today - all fluids and filters -

it runs great and its hard to believe its only a 3 cyl 1.2 !! - Feels like a much bigger and powerful car then it ought to

My other VW is a 1982 VW Camper - a T25 Devon Conversion with a Subaru Impreza engine which I fitted myself last year.

Im into other classic cars and motorbikes and enjoy competing and participating in Classic car and motorcycle motorsport

I looking forward to enjoying my polo.... and getting to know (with members help) my way round the car and fixing any issues.

Thanks

Matt
